inquiries and several days ago the fact was
developed that the money was missing
The express officials at once wentto Poca-

was there learned that express messenger,
Bennett, whose run is from Granger to
PecotelIo, had destroyed the waybill.
Bennett gave rs an excuse for his conduct
that after he had discovered that he did
not have the ten thousand dollar package
that the way-bill called for, and apprecia-
ting what the loss of that amount meant,
he claims he was driven almost wild with
fright and in his distraction tore up the
way-bill and made no report OF the fact on
arrival at Poeatelio. Suspicion OF course
rests on Bennett. hut the last news from
Pocatello says that he has not been arrest

PAPER is the potent factor of the world to-day. Paper diapers have been followed by a recent invention, or rather adaptation. of papicr mache to make cofins. It now is the most important commodity. food excepted, that man uses from the cradle to the grave. Its most important use is in the matter of newspapers. When so used it is a true index to a mans character; fnr, aside from his local paper, which every man that is worth snap of the finger subscribes for. whether he ever reads it or not, his papers are an index to his thought. Religious papers tell the church, po- litical papers the party and trade; and professional papers the trade and pro fessions. So in the trade. aud profess sions.

 Died, pt Gainesville, Ark. on November 19, 1887, Robert G. Me Mutt, aged twenty-six years.
 Dead And tho manly form once so full of life lies wrapped m the dreamless slumher that eternity alone can break. Once more have the funeral bells been tolled, and over another devoted homestead has the shadow of death been trhown. No truer friend no more loving husband than Bob" Me Mutt breathed the breath of life, and 1t is wish feelings of genuine sadness that the writer pens this tribute to his memory. Not only around the family fireside will h s loss be mourned, but in other homes and in other hearts his i'm. ago will be cherished and his name spoken in tcnderest accents as long as life shall last. With a smile for his friends and a pleas ant word for every one he won hls way to the hearts of all who knew him. Death is sad thing at all tunes, and ever leaves weeping eyes and bleeding hearts as mourniul reminder of his visit, but when he lays his withering touch upon the bounding veins of youth we gaze appalled, upon the sli and pulseless forms and ask why is it so. To the stricken wife we extend our sympathy; and would remlnd her that the one she mourns has only gone before. For months and years the summer breeze will sweep gently past his resting place, and the sad winds of winter will sing his requiem; but though the restless heart is stilled forever the imprisoned spirit has winged its way to the God who gave il, and we know that we shall meet again Tn tho "Land whore cur dreams come true"
